Composition
MASTERTILE 530 is a blend of hydrophobic cement, fillers and organic additives.
Standards
BS 5980 - Cementitious Adhesives and Grouts
Application procedures
Allow at least 24 hours between fixing tiles and grouting. Mix grout powder with water to give a smooth, thick consistency.
Leave to stand for 15 minutes before using. Apply to tile joints with a squeegee, brush or sponge. Remove surplus grout with a damp sponge. When grouting is completed, polish tiles with a dry cloth.
Watchpoints
Certain types of tile may stain when in contact with coloured cement grouts, it is therefore advisable to consult the tile manufacturer and carry out trials before use.
Coverage
1 kg is sufficient for approximately 4 square metres using standard 150 x 150mm tiles.
Storage
Store out of direct sunlight, clear of the ground on pallets protected from rainfall. Avoid excessive compaction.
Safety precautions
As with all chemical products, care should be taken during use and storage to avoid contact with eyes, mouth, skin and foodstuffs (which may also be tainted with vapour until product is fully cured). Treat splashes to eyes and skin immediately. If accidentally ingested, seek immediate medical attention. Reseal containers after use.
